How a Small Act of Kindness Shaped a Million-Dollar Health Business

Business partners Mike Gould and Terry Hogan built a successful health company together. Their journey started in 2009 and led to the creation of a major online retailer. Along the way, a small act of kindness left a lasting impression on Gould.

Gould first met Hogan in 2009. Their professional relationship took shape when they began distributing Hogan Energy Granules. This early collaboration laid the foundation for a larger venture.

In 2011, the pair officially launched Sports Nutritional Innovations, Inc. as equal partners. Their company later expanded into e-commerce with HoganNutrition.com, offering more than 3,500 health products. Before the business launch party, Gould witnessed Hogan’s kindness firsthand. During a dinner, Hogan took time to engage with a disabled boy. This moment stood out for Gould and later featured in his 2021 memoir, where he reflected on Hogan’s influence on his life and career.

Their partnership grew from a single product to a thriving online business. Hogan’s compassion, combined with their shared vision, shaped both their professional and personal paths. The company they founded continues to operate today.
